The city of Birmingham came together to bid farewell to the legendary Black Sabbath frontman. Photos captured a rare reunion of the Osbourne children, moments of visible grief, and a small, personal tribute from Kelly.
Rock icon Ozzy Osbourne was laid to rest in his hometown of Birmingham, England, in a private service following a procession that drew family, friends, and fans from around the world.
Sharon Osbourne and the couple’s three children — Kelly, Jack, and Aimee — reunited publicly on July 30, 2025, to honor the legendary musician.
Their joint appearance marked a rare moment of togetherness after years spent largely out of the public eye, resonating with longtime fans.
Ozzy, best known as the pioneering frontman of Black Sabbath, helped shape the sound of heavy metal and became one of its most enduring cultural figures. Born and raised in Birmingham, his bond with the city remained strong throughout his life.
The funeral procession traced a route through central Birmingham, with thousands gathering along the way. The public mourning underscored his deep connection to the community.
Kelly Osbourne’s arrival drew particular attention as she appeared alongside her partner, musician Sid Wilson, and their young son, Sidney. She was seen waving at fans and joining her family to view tributes to her father.
Eagle-eyed netizens quickly noticed a small tribute paid by Kelly to her late father: she was wearing his iconic sunglasses.
“is kelley wearing her dads iconic glasses? [sic],” wondered one fan. “Aaah Kelly is wearing his glasses. I felt this 😢😢,” wrote another, with a third adding, “Aww Kelly’s glasses in honor@of [sic] her dad. Sweet tribute. RIP Ozzy.“
One fan remarked on their resemblance, writing, “From that angle, Kelly looks just like her Dad!“
Thousands gathered around Black Sabbath Bridge to pay their respects. Sharon was photographed with her children in tender moments that captured her raw emotion.
Sharon, who managed Ozzy’s career for decades and stood by him through health struggles and triumphs alike, was visibly moved yet remained composed as her children comforted her.
Kelly, Jack, and Aimee — who have each navigated varying degrees of public life — were photographed together with their mother, an uncommon occurrence, particularly given Aimee’s long-standing preference for privacy and distance from the rest of the family.
“I wouldn’t say there is an ease between us,” Aimee said in a 2015 interview with The Independent, “but there is an acceptance. Do we socialise? No.”
Despite arriving separately, the siblings stood united at key moments during the event — a testament to their bond amid loss.
Jack was visibly moved upon arrival, greeting fans and interacting warmly with them. He was later pictured alongside his mother, helping steady her as they viewed the tributes left by countless fans.
Online, fans were deeply moved by photos of the family during the event. “This broke my heart 😢,” one admitted, with another stating, “Such an amazing family and a heartfelt beautiful tribute to him.“
“The photos of the family broke my heart. 🙏 ❤️ 😢,” said a third fan on Facebook. Another netizen concurred: “This one hurts…. especially watching his family who loved him so much hurting right now.“
The streets of Birmingham overflowed with tributes — flowers, handwritten notes, and pictures. For many, this farewell represented a final return to the city that nurtured one of rock’s most distinctive voices.
The cortege, adorned with floral tributes and escorted by close family, evoked a solemn yet celebratory tone — an acknowledgment of a life both tumultuous and groundbreaking.
In the end, the gathering of Sharon and her children served as both a farewell and a celebration.
Amid personal grief, their unity reflected the strength of family ties and the shared pride in Ozzy’s extraordinary life and career — a legacy that will continue to reverberate through music and memory for generations to come.
